show me the laser scan of the surface of the cone vs the input …. pistonic is as pistonic does….

@clio09 no fair, you attended the Roger Modjeski skool of great listening AND Engineering….. Best to you I miss him

Much of the benefit of a high pass before the mains amp is the loafing it enjoys….. The problem w servo is input signal is compared w voice coil movement, NOT cone movements which are rarely pistonic….. But y’all like those big paper woofers flap...
